In Anne Arundel County, fences 6 feet or under in height generally do not require a building permit unless on a corner lot, waterfront property, or associated with a pool installation. Fences over 6 feet require a permit. Barbed wire is allowed on top of chain link fences at least 6 feet high.
Glen Burnie or county code regulates fence heights by yard location. Rear and side yard fences typically limited to 6 feet. Front yard fences limited to 4 feet. Corner lots have visibility requirements. MD Real Property Article §14-120 makes a fence over 6 feet built to annoy a neighbor actionable as a nuisance (spite fence). HOAs extremely common in Maryland suburbs and may impose lower limits or specific design requirements.
Code compliance notice with correction period. Modify or remove non-compliant fence. Spite fence: civil action.
